However for the majority of us, our experience in the haircutting department is fairly restricted – aside from offering our ends a little trim or that one time we snipped our own bangs, that is. Male’s hair – and those electrical trimmers barbers tend to use – is an entire new area.
That’s why a how-to for cutting guys’s hair was so extremely asked for from celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton. He shared the video on Instagram detailing the procedure from start to complete in under 5 minutes, making it look far simpler than you might expect. All you’ll need are clippers, scissors, a comb, and sectioning clips. Ahead, we broke down his tutorial so you can follow along during your own guys’s haircut session.
Action 1: Area the Hair
Start by sectioning the hair with the clips to mark the distinction in between the longest areas (the top of the head) and the shorter areas (the sides of the head). Appleton sectioned from the temple to the back of the head.
Step 2: Select Your Clipper Length
Utilizing the clippers, utilize an attachment that’s slightly longer than you would generally choose. This will enable room for some errors without bungling the entire haircut. In the demonstration, Appleton said he normally uses a 3 however went with a 4.
Action 3: Buzz the Sides
Constantly start at the front of the head and work your method back. In front of the ear at the temple, lay the clippers flush against the head and move in an upward motion. When you reach completion of the course you’re cutting, flick the wrist up. Continue doing that till you reach the back of the head. Change to the other side and meet in the middle.
Step 4: Produce the Fade
To fade the sides and back of the head, utilize a somewhat much shorter attachment than you utilized in step 2. Follow the exact same cutting procedure from the front of the head, except this time, only trim about midway up on the sectioned hair – remember the flick. This will mix everything together.
Step 5: Mix at the Top of the Head
As soon as you’ve ended up the sides of the head, secure the sectioning clips, grab the scissors, and damp the hair at the top of the head a little. To mix the longer hair in with the fade, Appleton said to envision a half-circle shape on the top of the head. You wish to cut the hair shorter on the sides of the fictional “circle” utilizing the comb and scissors.
Action 6: Trim the Really Top
At the top of the head, cut to the wanted length with a point cut – remember this is where you desire to keep most of your length. A point cut is when you hold the scissors perpendicular to the hair to add texture and keep completions more natural.
Action 7: Cut the Front
Trim the front piece of hair with a point cut by pulling it backward – this will keep a little length in the hair when you lay it flat again. Appleton’s number one idea is to go a bit longer when you cut hair in your home so you can return in and reduce it if required.
